Members of the Opals women's basketball team have said they are putting off-court spats behind them as the players come together in Canberra to train for the Rio Olympics.

The Australian team is one of the most competitive national teams in basketball and aiming for gold in Rio, after bronze medals in the last world championships cemented the team's position as medal contenders.

Opal's team-mate Liz Cambage, whose father is Nigerian, blasted Kunek for the image, tweeting that she was "shocked" and "disturbed" and "people wonder why I have issues with some Basketball Australia teammates".

Kunek later removed her post and apologised.

"Alice realised she made a mistake, Lizzie took offence to it and rightfully so," Opals coach Brendan Joyce said.

"But if you spoke to Lizzie, she would probably say she could of done things a little bit different as well.

"The girls have actually been practicing together the last few weeks."

Cambage said she was at the week-long training session to "play basketball... I'm not here to make friends".

"We're teammates and at the end of the day that's what I do, I play basketball," she said.

"I think she learnt, and a lot of people learnt, from the whole experience."

Aside from the off-court issues, the fitness of Olympic veteran and key player Lauren Jackson, who has been plagued by injury, is worrying the team.

Joyce said this week's training camp would be make or break for Jackson.

"It's determined by how she is physically and we'll know more within the next couple of days," he said.

"Anybody that goes to the Olympic games, we can't take anybody that's injured, we can't take anybody hoping that they're going to be OK."

But Joyce said he believed the team still stood a good chance of taking out the gold.

"We pride ourselves on being competitive for the small country that we are," he said.

"Since 1996 been very very competitive and shown the world how great we are at basketball and that is the focus."
